Weekly Question (Week 11)

[RepentantSky]

I don't think most reviews can be accepted on face value unless gameplay footage is supplemented with it.  By which the only reviewer I think that applies to this the best is Angry Joe.

This also applies to me, in a way, but instead of me scoring them I just say whether I had fun and whether I'd recommend it.  Because that's what it all boils down to: not numbers, but recommendations.

I'm sorry but Angry Joe is one of the worst reviewers out there. Not for the reasons I mentioned before, but more because he never realizes when he contradicts himself or hates one game for doing something another game he likes did. Example, he hated Destiny for doing the same thing CoD games do, but he gave the CoD game he reviewed before Destiny a pass. Another example, he told people not to buy Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 despite the fact, that the 40 dollar price tag basically comes out to the equivalent of the DLC that comes out for every CoD game, which he also gave a pass to. Also, do I really have to mention the crap he went through with Nintendo? Dude obviously knew what he was doing and still managed to make an ass out of himself. He's also one of those reviewers who does his reviews almost entirely off of what he expected instead of what is. That is bad reviewing. You can make mention of that, you can even alter the score of the game, a bit, because it's not what you expected, but to say a game is bad because you expected a Lambo and got a Ferrari is just stupid. The only exception to that rule should be when you are lied to, like Alien Isolation for example. The worst part of it all is that he doesn't seem to notice he does that, or he simply doesn't care. I'm sorry but I have thought multiple times of creating a youtube channel on making corrections and pointing out obvious flaws in what happens on the site, and Angry Joe would be the basis of what not to do if I ever do make that.
